My front pads are getting low so I'm going to replace both the front and rear. I have in my mind ds2500's or yellow stuff I run just standard discs and good fluid.

The car is supercharged, will I notice any other improvements other than just fade vs standard front and rear pads with spirited road driving?

ds2500's seem well priced really.

Cheers

 

Better breaking definately but your OEM discs will wear quicker with those pads

 

Not really a problem given the annual mileage he does ... had them on for most of the 3 years i've had the car and i haven't noticed any abnormal wear but braking is better. They do throw off more dust than OEM though.

 

The way you drive you could get the ferrodo ds5's

 

2500 all the way! I detest yellowstuffs for the road or track!

 

I am a big fan of Yellowstuff and have placed them on a few S2000s, all with good results. Remember that Yellowstuff are road legal and DS2500s aren't.

 

hmm thanks the excessive dust bothers me, car won't be used in cold weather ie what it's like now.

I guess I want better bite and shorter stopping distances, rather than more fade resistant therefore I guess I should choose wisely.

Thanks

 

Apparently the reason ds2500s aren't considered road legal is because they increase the friction coefficient by more than 15% over oem pads.

Weird eh!

Definitely quite a dusty pad but stop well , not snatchy. I had them fading on track but I was really pushing on

 

Think I'll go yellow stuff, looking on eBay why is there such a price difference? in both the rears and fronts are there types?

Cheers

 

Brake pads won't reduce stopping distances, you need stickier tyres for that. They will help with fade, so will reduce stopping distances under repeated heavy braking.
